In the original game, they had a timer (5 secs?) to think of a new answer if the contestant said an answer already on the board. So I think that since there is no time limit, a strike is in order. (I mean in the regular rounds, not the speed round.) ---

[QUOTE=twickster] At least it wasn’t zebra. I would have been pissed if it had been zebra. [/QUOTE] \*\*Dolores Reborn \*\* had said Leopard and I think someone else. I recall seeing a leopard riding a horse in a circus on TV. I have never seen the Seals or Sea Lions, but I remember them from cartoons with Circus themes. The Rest seemed pretty common. ---
